Networks are allowed to interrupt programming in case of extreme weather which could potentially threaten lives.

Dorsey, who warned Atlanta residents of a potential tornado, said she received numerous negative comments, including death threats, for cutting into the live coverage.

Responding to the backlash, she posted an emotional message on Twitter reminding golf lovers that their lives are more important than “five minutes” of the game.

“To everyone sending me death threats right now: you wouldn’t be saying a damn thing if a tornado was ravaging your home this afternoon. Lives are more important than 5 minutes of golf. I will continue to repeat that if and when we cut into programming to keep people safe,” she wrote.
